Now days Jassi Jasraj (Karan Jasbir) strongly raised his
voice against the vulgarity and eroticism prevailing in Punjabi music. He protested against the Honey Singh for his vulgar lyrics and videos and called him ‘the king of vulgarity’.
He portrayed Honey Singh as the king of vulgarity and other such singers as his force. “If the king will be punished then other will also learn the lesson” he said. He also said that "projecting women in derogatory light and singing double meaning vulgar songs had become fashion in the Punjab. “Erotica and Vulgarity is selling very easily at the stake of morality and ethics. But now the situation has become alarming and revolution against vulgarity in Punjabi music has started”.The Whole issue started from Song "
15 Saal di kudi" which Honey Singh and Diljit Dosanjh, released earlier this year. In that song, it is mentioned that no Girl (Kudi) in Punjab is a fresh Peace (Pavittar) and excite youth for bad behaviour with Girls.
Recently Jassi Jasraj has released National Villager album. The lyrics, music and the rap are by Jassi Jasraj himself. Video is directed by Manna Banwait under the label of Jasraj Records.In
National Villager Face to Face song he directly targetted Yo Yo Honey Singh Rapper (Punjabi?).Even before he has done is his album Zanjeer with Honey Singh all together.
Jassi Jasraj also given example of Amar Chamkila and Amarjot who were gunned down in March 1988 for singing double meaning vulgar songs. He also mentioned few other famous singer names and said those also are not in favour of stopping this.
This whole debate has raised few questions like
- Is something went wrong with Jassi Jasraj and Honey Singh during making of Album Zanjeer?
- Is Jassi Jasraj really want to save Punjabi Culture?
- Is he Jealous of Popularity of Honey Singh?
- Is Hoeny Singh culprit of Vulgar Songs in Punjab?
- Or Jassi Jasraj in seek of gaining Media Attention or just a publicity stunt?
What do you think?
